Dropping the R1T won't get the R2 here any faster.

It is 233 miles for the '24 Taycan Cross Turismo. '25 Taycan Cross Turismo will be much improved. The official '25 numbers aren't in yet. The already very good charging curve will be improved. And since EPA test highway range at 48 mph and Taycan has a two speed transmission it severely...

I would totally bet against Toyota. They should be asking for Japanese government bailout in a decade or so.

My hope is people stop using this bs metric. Rivian is a startup company in a heavily capital intensive industry. Currently, expenses exceed revenue and they sell a certain number of vehicles. But they don't "lose money on every car they sell". The cost of parts plus blue collar labor to...

Because it is a moderated forum where trolls get banned.

There is nothing sad. VW is refusing to follow Tesla, Ford and the Koreans into price cuts. So they are losing market share but not margin.

If you are going to bunch Hyundai-Kia then you should bunch Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC. VW Group- VW,Audi,Porsche- also look much better as whole than just VW brand.

The Livewire objectively sucked. For the money. The Daytona EV is going to be a practical liftback sedan(2dr and 4 dr) for not too much money. You can get the 100 kWH car with good range and ok performance or good performance with ok range. They haven't unveiled the Banshee with 118 kWh pack...

It is traditional in Japan when companies form a partnership they buy stock in each other. Subaru purchased Toyota stock and Toyota purchased Subaru stock after they decided to build EVs together.

Comparing an actual car to an idea of a car is kinda silly.

Any Tesla sales in India are gray market. Tesla does not sell cars in India.

Almost no car is profitable with ZERO options. The base car is just the bait. Usually sold at cost. Or even less. A very low percentage of the production mix is a base car with ZERO options. A standard sales mix for R2 with various trims should be quite profitable.

This will take engineering resources to make sure everything works. Tesla no longer supports their original 2008-12 Tesla roadster. You have to go to an independent shop to get it fixed. I doubt Tesla expends engineering resources on oddball boutique electrics so they can use the...

Rivian should not put new chargers in Malls or Big Box Stores. They should put chargers where there are no Superchargers AND it enables overlanding/off-roading.

The interior was made for easy recycling. So it doesn't have the shiny coatings most plastics and fabrics have. So brand new it looks 10 years old. I just wish it had grab handles.

Porsche increased the base price of the Taycan in the US by $8845. But will now have a base electric Macan starting at $80,450. Roughly the old starting price of the base Taycan. Taycan global sales reached a new record in 2023 of 40,629 units, an increase of 17% YoY. And almost certainly...

The Dept of Justice and CARB handed VW a mandate to build X amount of chargers on X schedule. They were not required to meet a reliability metric or uptime metric. No one is forcing Stellantis,GM,Honda etc to build chargers. GM and Ford pulled back when they decided to get access to the...

A Rivian is a lot like an electric Land Rover. With a splash of Patagonia. Land Rover sells Range Rover SVs for $300k Plus. If someone wants to spend $300k on a Rivan, help Rivian become profitable, and get a really cool Rivian in return why should anyone lobby against it?

The sub $50k version can target Model Y. And the $75k version can target 4Runner/GX 550. There shouldn't be a huge price gap between loaded R2S and base R1S. Rivian is not going to have two dozen plus models like many legacy OEMs anytime soon, maybe never. It can't have narrow focused...

Fisker doesn't engineer EVs, manufacture EVs, sell EVs or service EVs. Fisker does design and a little digital marketing. Fisker's current market cap is $360M. And is not worth $36M. And when Henrik Fisker retires it will be worth just about zero. Fisker's worth is the Design elan of Henrik.
